Gary Barlow: Britney Spears was rubbish on The X Factor

Take That frontman unimpressed by her miming

Wednesday, 3 December 2008

Gary Barlow has hit out at Britney Spears for not singing live on The X Factor.

The singer mimed Womanizer when she appeared on the ITV show on Saturday.

‘I don’t see the point of Britney anymore, she was rubbish on the show,’ the Take That frontman, 37, tells the Daily Mirror.

‘I think she’s more famous than she deserves to be now. I don’t like her new song either.

'Her old stuff was great but maybe she should have spent more time on this one.’

But Gary can understand why Britney, 27, could have been put off by Simon Cowell, 49.

‘You walk out there and Cowell’s just looking at you,’ he tells The Sun.

'It puts you on edge straight away. I’d be bloody nervous.'

gary barlow...i mean come on whom is he to judge britneys performance?? i mean tt have a ew good tunes but whenever they sing the new single live they would be better off miming ..why would a 37 yr old be even commenting on a 27 yr old female??,,,,a tad jealous i guess and worried if she'll beat him to the number one spot with her album...

If Britney's so good, why did she mime on the X Factor. And as for Take That "trying to stay in the limelight"??? Does the fastest selling album in one day ever in the UK ring any bells?. And maybe Take That don't want to go over to the US because they know people in the UK appreciate real music, not some has-been like Britney.
